More about the book
Treachery, blackmail, theft, and above all, self-interest abound in An Ideal Husband, the first drawing-room comedy to address political sleaze. In Wilde's more light-hearted comedy masterpiece, The Importance of Being Earnest, nothing is sacred. Wilde's dazzling barbed epigrams are directed at all that English high-society holds dear. 'The only pure verbal opera in English' (W.H. Auden), this play presents some of the most celebrated comic scenes in English drama -- Publisher's note on back cover.
